Overview
Based on the appealing Genesis GV70, the Electrified GV70 is an electric version of the automaker's compact crossover SUV. It supplies more than 425 horsepower, provides over 235 miles of driving range, and can recharge to 80% in less than 20 minutes under the right conditions. Despite the powertrain swap, the Electrified GV70 looks almost identical to the gas-powered model, retaining the five-passenger seating while providing up to 56.5 cubic feet of cargo space. As a result, the Electrified GV70 flies under the radar, but we think it deserves greater consideration. Read our Edmunds Expert Rating for more details.
Edmunds Tested RangeEdmunds begins with a full battery charge and drives the vehicle on a mix of city and highway roads (approximately 60% city, 40% highway) until the battery is almost entirely empty. (We target 10 miles of remaining range for safety.) The miles traveled and the indicated remaining range are added together for the Edmunds Tested Range figure.
EV batteries lose 1-2% of range per year. Est. range for this car is 217 miles after 8 years.Electric cars typically experience 1-2% of range loss per year with slightly faster degradation over the first 50,000 miles as the car settles into its long term state, according to Recurrent's study of 15,000 EVs.

Edmunds spotlight: Is the Genesis Electrified GV70 worth it?
Though the Electrified GV70 provides an unexceptional estimated driving range of 236 miles, its compatibility with 350-kW DC ultra-fast chargers is a significant benefit. According to Genesis, this electric SUV can recharge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes under ideal conditions. In addition, though the Electrified GV70 is expensive for its segment, it comes with plenty of standard features and three complimentary years of 30-minute fast-charging sessions through Electrify America. Another perk is free access to Genesis Connected Services for as long as you own the Electrified GV70, including automatic collision notification, remote start with climate preconditioning, digital key technology and more. So, there is substance behind the elevated sticker price.
Competitors to consider
The list of alternatives to a Genesis Electrified GV70 grows with each passing year. In 2024, the Acura ZDX and Porsche Macan Electric are new rivals, joining the Cadillac Lyriq, Lexus RZ, Tesla Model Y and Volvo XC40 Recharge. Most offer more range than the Genesis, and several provide better performance. So as much as we like the Electrified GV70, things are moving fast in the segment. Genesis needs to continually improve its electric SUV if it wants to remain competitive.

edmunds TESTED
Having driven both versions of the Genesis GV70, we think the Electrified is pretty compelling. It compromises little and presents major gains in acceleration and smoothness. Other than lackluster range, the 2024 Electrified GV70 resets the bar on what a luxury SUV can be.
How does the Electrified GV70 drive? Take one look at the gracefully styled Electrified GV70 and you'd never guess how much power it packs in a straight line. At our test track, it ripped from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. We suspect it could be even quicker with gripper tires, as the standard eco-minded tires are easily overwhelmed by the electric motor's power when you mash the accelerator.
The GV70's handling abilities are also hindered by its non-performance tires. But at a more relaxed pace, the Electrified GV70 easily satisfies. It feels more planted and secure than its gas-powered twin (thanks to the nature of an EV to have a low center of gravity) and has smooth braking and predictable steering. This SUV absolutely shines as a relaxing daily driver.
Comfort
9/10
How comfortable is the Electrified GV70? The Electrified GV70 matches the standard GV70's exceptional ride quality. With a standard adaptive suspension that scans the road to adapt, the GV70 takes on potholes and bumps like a champ. We also love the front seats with their subtle bolstering and soft material finish. They're also heated and ventilated so everyone can get comfy. Rear passengers are treated to a similarly pleasant experience, with a second-row bench that reclines back far and offers optional heating.
Genesis uses a haptic feedback touchscreen for its climate controls, and although it looks nice, the screen isn't as responsive as it could be. Sometimes it takes an extra press or two to make something work. The system itself works very well with strong fan speed. Without any audio playing, the GV70's cabin is one of the quietest in the game. And because there isn't an engine to chime in, the Electrified model feels even more peaceful.
Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? There's a sophistication to the GV70's interior that the GV60 just doesn't have. With more space and a less busy design, this is one of our favorite interiors in any car today. Most of the controls are easy to use, though the proximity of the similar-looking infotainment controller and the gear selector is puzzling. The center touchscreen also requires a somewhat long reach.
This SUV is the absolute perfect height for getting out with wide door openings to help even more. The driver's seat has enough adjustability to find the right driving position, and there's enough flexibility for taller drivers, too. The GV70 is pretty easy to see out of, and the 360-degree camera system further helps out in tight parking situations.

How’s the tech? One of the few areas where Genesis falls behind the curve is device integration. The GV70 still uses USB-A ports instead of the more current USB-C format. Additionally, Apple and CarPlay, and Android Auto are only accessible via a wired connection and not wirelessly.
There are some positives to report, though. The touchscreen's graphics are sharp, and the 16-speaker Lexicon sound system is an absolute banger with huge sound and fantastic adjustability. The fingerprint scanner is a fun alternative to using the key, and the optional head-up display is super easy to use. Navigating through menus, both in the instrument cluster and the infotainment screen, is simple.
Genesis threw almost every driver assist feature at its disposal into the Electrified GV70, including Highway Driving Assist II. Though it doesn't offer true hands-off capability like some of its competitors, the system will keep the car in the lane and maintain the appropriate speed. It's well calibrated and doesn't get overly intrusive.
Storage
8/10
How’s the storage? The GV70 Electrified has a generous cargo area that is nearly the same size as the one in the gas version of the SUV. That means 28.7 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which is on par with the bigger options in the segment. The seats fold down flat with an easy 60/40 split, making loading an easy task. While there is a small compartment under the hood for storage, it pales in comparison to the one in Tesla's Model Y.
Small-item storage in the cabin is adequate but not spectacular. We appreciate that the cupholders are out of the way on the center console, and the door bins can hold a decent amount. Bonus points for the wireless charging pad pocket that hides your phone completely out of the way.
The spacious back seat is great for parents who need to install car seats. We also like that the safety seat anchor points are easy to access and that the door openings are wide enough to get seats in and out without bumping into anything.
How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates the GV70 Electrified can travel about 236 miles on a single charge, which is an average distance for a small luxury EV. On our standardized real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, our test GV70 posted a slightly longer distance of 255 miles. Still, that's below what the Audi Q4 e-tron and Tesla Model Y can do. As for efficiency, we used 33 kWh of battery per 100 miles of driving, which is on the better side of things for luxury electric SUVs.
Like other electric Genesis products, the GV70 has some impressive charging stats. It can juice from 10% to 80% capacity in 18 minutes on a 350-kW DC fast charger, or from 10% to 100% on a Level 2 system in seven hours. Those are substantially quicker charge times than the Audi Q4 e-tron and Lexus RZ offer.
Value
8/10
Is the Electrified GV70 a good value? The Electrified GV70's is good but not a screaming deal. It's more expensive than the smaller Audi Q4 e-tron and Tesla Model Y but less expensive than the more upscale Audi Q8 e-tron and BMW iX. Considering its passenger and cargo space offerings and many standard features, we think that the GV70 is appropriately priced.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The Genesis Electrified GV70 is a great reminder that this company knows how to build a great all-around vehicle. This is the best version of the GV70 yet — it has the same stunning looks but adds a fresh powertrain that packs a major punch.
Which Electrified GV70 does Edmunds recommend?
Choosing a Genesis Electrified GV70 is easy because it comes one way: well equipped with an AWD Advanced trim package that provides everything you'll really want and need. However, you can upgrade to the Prestige package for plenty of plush extras.
The overall customer sentiment for the 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 is mixed. Owners love how comfortable and fun the car is to drive, with features like heated seats and a relaxing ride. However, they are disappointed with the car’s range and the frequent need for repairs, which can take a long time due to backordered parts. Some owners also had trouble with the stereo and missing features they expected.

2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)
Foremost, the smooth/ oh-so-smooth ride and the quiet/very quiet interior at speed. Steering is uncanny and power (Boost!) is frightening, but FUN. Elegant and tasteful inetrior with great tech, 'cept for having to cable Android Auto. and 2nd row seats tilt (my costly BMW 5X did not!!!???). Exterior styling is somewhat strange, but all the other features massage thqat away...
